On behalf of our faculty and student majors, I welcome you to the School of Humanities. The school's programs are centered on humanity. From how humans make decisions; how they should make decisions; how a collection of individual agents can form a society; how languages and cultures vary and how they shape the human experience, this school is the home to exciting interdisciplinary research and teaching. I invite you to explore this website and experience this excitement.

While providing general education courses, major degree programs, and cultural enrichment for the campus and community, the School of Humanities embodies the 'liberal arts' concept of education. All disciplines explore different ways of knowing, thinking, speaking, perceiving, and producing.

The School of Humanities has four departments that offer Bachelor of Arts degrees. They are: English and Modern Languages, Mass Communications, History, and Music. Our faculty consistently engages in research and creative production, collaborates across disciplines, takes on problems that are important to the world today, and shares a passion for innovation in both research and teaching.

Our students are trained in a wide array of disciplinary approaches and regularly engage in research and practice. They emerge from their experiences within the departments able to effectively communicate, think, learn, and understand the world in ways that will serve them for the rest of their lives. Upon finishing their baccalaureate degree, our majors are among the most sought-after liberal arts graduates in the world.
